IBooks Always Asking for AppleID Password

This isn't a huge deal, but rather an annoyance.....
Over the last month or two, I've noticed iBooks asks for my AppleID password when I launch the app on my iPad. I can't recall exactly when this first occurred, so I really can't pin it down to anything specific. I'm running the current iOS and syncing wirelessly to my iMac (though I don't know if either of those matter).
In the past, I only had to type in my AppleID password when I actually wanted to purchase or download an app or iBook, but now it seems to want this password when I launch iBooks and start reading a book...I'm not even at the store.
I can't see any settings that would affect this....
Any ideas?

This thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/23617781#23617781 ) suggests it's related to in-progress downloads from the iBooks store, but so far as I can tell, I don't have any of those and I still get prompted each time I launch.

There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

Why does Intel version always ask for my password when adding loops?

When I add loops to the PPC version, it never asks for my password. I want this behavior on the Intel version. Always asking for my password’s really annoying. Thanks very much. Peace.

Being able to to access, install and change anything on your computer with a simple keystroke is just not a good thing security wise. Maybe you don't download from unknown sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date. But people reading this may not be in your situation. Most password hacking tools will start with single keystrokes and no password will gain access in a fraction of a second.

TS4268 iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password.

iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password. After entering it switches to a mask witch asks for the eMail adress that should be used. There is the right One already preentered. From there it switches back to the former mask (appleID +password) and nothing happens. If you say Log in again, ist just switches between those masks without showing an error claim nor logging in. Strange thing is ist worked proppperply till a few days ago.......

Hello there Noregret35,
I suggest this part of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
If you get to step 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps.
Here is step 1 to get you started.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Regards,
Sterling

That is normal, because it doesn't want somebody that may have stolen your device to go using your money on apps you don't want.

Always asking for iTunes password

I have a new 3GS and often when I wake it up it will ask me for my iTunes password. I have entered it several times but it seems to keep happening.
Anyone else seeing this? Any possible fixes?
Thanks

My iPhone (O2,3G) also asks for iTunes passwords when it should not, but only when accessing the App store. It did not initially do this under 2.2.1 but developed the habit when an app update on the phone failed during installation. Installing 3.0 removed the problem but this morning I tried to update an app and although the install seemed to work (the app is now the newest version) there were errors during the install warning me that the installation could not be completed and I would have to download it via iTunes. Following that, the phone is back to asking me for my password every time I open the App store app.
Presumably there's a file somewhere on the phone that is created or touched when doing updates and not cleaned up when they are successful. If so, would there be any way to delete it without losing data?

What do I do to stop my emails always asking for the password?

I have just had my iPhone5 replaced with a new one, and after getting synched with iCloud my email addresses are asking for the password. have never had a password on emails...how do I stop this occuring? many thx

Yes, but for that you'll need a cellular modem and a data plan to go with it. Or you may be able to use a cellular phone in tethered mode. I have no experience with either method, so I'll leave the explaining to someone who knows about them. Or if you already have a cell phone and plan, consult your phone service provider.

TS3276 When sending, Mail always ask for my password....why?

Mail asks for my password when I send an e-mail. Sometimes it take a few minutes before asking. How do I resolve this issue?

Does the same occur when setting Mail to check for new mail every 5 or 15 minutes?
If there are a number of messages to download and/or a message or messages contain attachments and the download process is not completed and the communication with the server closed before the next automatic check for new mail, the prompt to manually enter the account's password will be provided instead of an error message indicating there was a problem communicating with the server or the account will be taken offline.
The same can occur if there is heavy network traffic at the incoming mail server for the account when the Mail.app checks for new mail.
I have the Mail.app set to check for new mail every 15 minutes and if I am prompted to manually enter an account's password, this indicates there is a temporary problem at the incoming mail server for the account.
I have provided feedback to Apple requesting the Mail.app provide a communication with the server error message instead of a request to manually enter the account's password.
Try changing it to every 5 minutes as a test.

Somehow my husbands apple id "jumped" to my phone. Now I'm always asked for his password and it's not even the ID he is using. How do I get my phone back?

Somehow my husbands Apple ID "jumped" to my phone, or at least I'm asked for his password (and not for the ID he uses). How do I get my phone back to my ID?

I believe that he must have at some point logged in to your phone and installed an app that he downloaded on his account and installed that app onto your phone. When your phone attempts to update that app, it will ask for his ID.
OR
He might have just decided to log you out of your account and log himself in.

It might help if you described when you're getting password (for his ID) prompts.

How do I stop the system always asking for keychain password?

Each time I try to get my mail in Entourage, I'm asked for my 'keychain x' keychain password. How can I switch this off?
I have opened keychain access and manually unlocked the 'keychain x' keychain, and checked that it's not set to auto-lock afterwards, and yet this still keeps occurring.
I notice that under the 'login' keychain, only two of my mail accounts appear, when I have four. Could this be the problem? (Though it does seem to refer to 'keychain x' and not 'login' keychain). If so how do I add the others?
Thanks for your help!

OK, thanks much. Checked andadjusted setting and now all works like before. And you introduced me to a nice security setting I did not know existed and one I can set up easily if i need to . Thanks again.

IBooks keeps asking for iTunes password

Everytime I start reading a book, a little popup window asks for my iTunes passport.
It's annoying.
It didn't do that in the beginning.
Any way to stop that.

On your pc go to itunes then to store and select download available downloads.
That should fix it if not then post it
